There\u2019s been a flood of voices rolling across the internet singing the praises of ChatGPT<\/a>. The newest public interface to OpenAI\u2019s GPT-3 natural language processor is attracting much attention. Anyone who\u2019s tried the chatbot for themselves comes away amazed by the quality of \u201cthinking\u201d the tool demonstrates. And amused with the confidence it sometimes exhibits while calmly spitting out delusional fabrications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But GPT-3<\/a> (and the reportedly much-improved GPT-4 that\u2019s coming soon) is a game changer. The artificial intelligence engine was trained on a vast knowledge base that it uses to properly understand the questions you ask and respond with helpful and in-context answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that\u2019s stuff I\u2019m sure you already know. What I\u2019m going to address here are the specific industries and tasks that ChatGPT and its peers are poised to disrupt. Or, in other words, how much our professional and personal lives might change over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content generation at scale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious task to which ChatGPT will be applied is what it seems to do best: write. If your business needs to produce pages and pages of grammatical, coherent, and compelling prose, you\u2019ll have a hard time finding humans who can work as quickly or cheaply as a modern AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can be a game changer for, say, a small company run by people for whom English is not their first language. Need to generate large volumes of on-target content to populate a website designed to attract and educate potential customers? No one can compete with ChatGPT. Is the writing quality produced by today\u2019s ChatGPT as good as the very best working technology writers? No. It\u2019s not. But it\u2019s miles ahead of what most companies can afford and easily good enough for most business purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you\u2019re not impressed with what the tool is generating today, wait six months and check back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google might penalize websites using AI-generated content and drop their search engine optimization (SEO) ranking. Beyond SEO content, ChatGPT is well-positioned to produce a company\u2019s documentation, product specs, and even project proposals. Embedding those documents into ChatGPT and exposing the prompt to your internal workforce will possibly have a significant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

App development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How is code written? I\u2019m old enough to remember struggling to teach myself QBasic with nothing more than a physical QBasic for beginners book. Progress in the years before the internet became useful was, predictably, slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve encountered that mythological image of developers. You know: Hoodie-wearing guys spending their days in front of an array of video displays, hunched over a keyboard and typing madly for hours on end (with an optional caffeine-infused IV bag attached). The reality, as we all know, is that modern programming involves much less typing and a lot more reading search engine (and Stack Overflow) results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Progress these days isn\u2019t nearly as slow as it was, but there are still plenty of bottlenecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just where GPT-3 can make a big difference. You prompt ChatGPT with a description<\/a> of the syntax problem you\u2019re facing or the task you\u2019re trying to accomplish. And the AI will immediately generate beautifully documented code in whatever language you like. You\u2019ll read through the code and try running it. If something fails, entering the error message in your next prompt will generate fine-tuning. Even if, in the end, it doesn\u2019t work, it\u2019ll definitely get you closer. As I\u2019ve noted elsewhere, this \u201ccollaboration\u201d looks a lot like pair programming<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me: ChatGPT is much<\/strong> faster than researching and debugging all by yourself. It\u2019s not good enough to replace you as a developer (yet). But it can definitely turbocharge your productivity. And if your entire dev team is ChatGPT-enabled, you could significantly improve your output cadence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Search engines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let me note that most of the unimaginable wealth amassed by Google (or Alpha) over the years came through the sale of ads to be displayed alongside your search results. What might happen to those revenue streams once ChatGPT (and tools like it) become more effective than an internet search? At this point, no one\u2019s figured out a way to place ads within ChatGPT output. But even if that happens one day, who says it\u2019ll be Google running the show?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where will Google be when 50% or 75% of its users switch from search altogether? This transition will be interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal document management<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite their intense training, many of the services lawyers provide involve sophisticated text processing. Contracts, wills, property title searches, legal discovery<\/a>, and even nasty warnings are primarily about finding and fitting a few critical details into larger bodies of generic boilerplate text, which is something that modern AIs happen to be really<\/em> good at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may not look cool arguing before a jury in a Hollywood movie, but ChatGPT would make a pretty good lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Session Replay for Developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Uncover frustrations, understand bugs and fix slowdowns like never before with OpenReplay<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 an open-source session replay suite for developers. It can be self-hosted<\/strong> in minutes, giving you complete control over your customer data<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
